most underrated South Park episode of all time?

Warning: Spoilers
This show has had a lot of classic episodes over the years. But, like a diamond in the rough - or a peanut in your turd - this one somehow shines in such a perfect way.

I know I must have watched A Very Crappy Christmas at some point before, because Hankey the Christmas Poo's wife and kids are such memorable characters! ..but if that were so, then how could I have forgotten The Circle of Poo musical number halfway through, and the moment Cornwallis starts being it out? Nor had I any recollection of the episode's main arc, and how it opened the door for deliciously self-referential antics throughout. If it's your first time watching South Park in your life, the meta humor still works in how it pokes fun at itself, even some shedding light on the show's animation in the process. Genuinely clever routines, with the back drop of 4th graders saying "fatass"... and it's *just* inoffensive enough that I might make my family watch it with me next time we're all gathered for everyone's favorite holiday 💩🎄

Such a perfect Christmas Special! It has everything that makes early South Park so timelessly hilarious, up to and including Ike's little toddler voice. Either I'm just stoned out of my mind, or this episode has a real case for being one of the most underrated episodes in the show's history. 10/10.
